QUESTIONS from “Joey Pals”
1. How are remains handled after exposure to the water/surge of the Hurricane in Florida? (Coroner’s office will handle them w/ dignity as usual. Divers are used if necessary.

– DISCUSSION of how folks handle it when no body is found…..they tend to hope that they are alive SOMEWHERE. Examples of deaths in WWII and the burial in Europe.

3. The Governor of CA. has said that human remains can be used for compost. Is this true? (Still has to be legally accepted in the Community in which this would be done. To be continued.)
